Jan, Franz and Nauke are testing an interactive exhibit, which I've built for Phaeno Science Center, Wolfsburg. It's a bench which measures the electrical resistance between it's two armrests. If they are both connected (e.g. via the bodies of the people who sit on it) the bench reacts with sound, light and vibration in its seat.

Passers-by are invited to play some tunes on the keyboard and the Wasserorgel responds with a magical water and light show.
